Abstract (en)

A control device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire the number of relays to be driven having an identical specification; and an output unit configured to output a pulse current to a plurality of relays to be driven, at shifted output timings in a case where the number of relays acquired by the acquisition unit is plural. The output unit is configured to determine a difference in output timing of the pulse current between relays adjacent in an order of output of the pulse current based on a duty ratio of the pulse current and the number of relays acquired by the acquisition unit.
